The old woman's damaged inner alchemy was repaired. This step was accomplished very successfully through grass-for-food repair.
The next thing Gu Zheng has to do is the second step, he wants to cook beast spiritual food for the old woman to help the old woman improve her cultivation.
The old woman's current state is the early stage of the Heavenly Demon. If you want to upgrade her to the middle stage of the Heavenly Demon, the ordinary beast spirit food cultivation has no such effect, unless it is of a relatively high level.
Gu Zheng's natal Five Elements Spirit is not yet complete, and he has not yet opened the Eye of Tao. It stands to reason that the highest grade of the animal spirit food cultivation he cooks is only mid-grade, and it is still relatively low-grade.
However, although some of Gu Zheng's physical requirements have not been met, some of his experiences derived from his body have not disappeared. After all, he used to cook high-level animal spirit food for Butterfly Spirit, Meow Meow and Angry Man.
, there should be no problem if you rely on experience to make up for your own shortcomings.
The leader of the food cultivator who is going to cook for the old woman in Guzheng is a high-level beast spirit food cultivator, so the ingredients used are also of a very high grade, and the minimum grade must be excellent.
It took the old woman two days to stabilize her current inner alchemy. Gu Zheng also had something to do. He wanted to prepare a Yuan Gathering Formation for the old woman.
Preparing the Ju Yuan Formation can be regarded as a backup plan. Although Gu Zheng feels that nothing will go wrong, if something goes wrong, with the Ju Yuan Formation prepared, it will not completely fail.
With the help of the spirit beads, the arrangement of the Yuan Gathering Formation was quickly completed, and the Immortal Yuan in the sea water immediately surged towards Gu Zheng's cave.
Nowadays, the Immortal Essence in the ancient world is very rich. A medium-level Yuan Gathering Formation like the one currently deployed by Gu Zheng can gather the Immortal Essence in just one day.
After setting up the Yuan Gathering Array, Gu Zheng then seriously considered whether there was anything unexpected about the beast spirit food cultivation that he was going to cook for the old woman. After all, his next cooking would not be complete if the spirit of the five elements in his life was not complete.
Without the Eye of Tao, it can be considered a leapfrog cooking.
After thinking about it for a whole day, Gu Zheng started to process the ingredients after confirming that there were no problems.
The old woman was still stabilizing her inner elixir, and Lingzhu, who had nothing to do, came to the temporary kitchen in the cave.
"Benefactor, is there anything I can do to help?" Lingzhu asked.
"There's nothing I need your help with, just take care of it." Gu Zheng said.
"Benefactor, you brought out so many things, are they all used for this cooking?" Lingzhu asked.
The ingredients Gu Zheng brought out, excluding some inner elixirs, were more than twenty kinds.
"Yes! The food to be cooked this time is of a higher standard and uses more ingredients."
While Gu Zheng answered the Lingzhu, he began to do preliminary processing of the ingredients.
"Benefactor, do all these ingredients need to be processed?" Lingzhu asked again.
"Yes, these all need to be dealt with."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, then looked at Lingzhu: "I didn't think you were so polite before, but after you met your grandma, why did you start calling me your benefactor like her? This makes me feel very awkward!
"
"My grandma used to call her that, and I thought it was more polite, so I called her that."
Lingzhu smiled sheepishly, and then said cautiously: "How about I still call you Sir?"
Gu Zheng didn't speak immediately. On the contrary, he looked at her up and down as if he were seeing Lingzhu for the first time, making Lingzhu feel a little uncomfortable.
Lingzhu was good-looking and was very respectful and obedient to Gu Zheng. When she asked Gu Zheng what to call him, Gu Zheng almost blurted out and asked her to call him sir!
Gu Zheng prefers the title sir, which is related to his origin, but there was no such title in ancient times, and the first person to call him sir was his little maid Miaomiao.
After settling the matter about the source of the true water of his life, Gu Zheng's next plan is to go back to Jixiang Xiaozhu. Originally, Gu Zheng had planned to bring someone with him, but now the Lingzhu reminded him of Miaomiao again.
It made his heart move slightly.
"Lingzhu."
Gu Zheng called Lingzhu's name, which made Lingzhu feel nervous. This was the first time Gu Zheng called her that.
"ah?"
Lingzhu responded, looking a little uneasy.
For Gu Zheng, Lingzhu respects but also contains a little fear. She rarely interacts with people. Gu Zheng is the human she has been in contact with for the longest time. Humans hunt monsters for their inner elixirs, and monsters devour humans. This is also the law of survival in the world.
Partly, Lingzhu is a little afraid of people by nature, especially a strong person like Gu Zheng who can easily control her.
"Are you interested in the way of eating?" Gu Zheng asked, pointing to the ingredients and pots and bowls.
"interested!"
Lingzhu was stunned. She didn't expect that after Gu Zheng called her name so solemnly, this was what he asked.
Lingzhu didn't lie, she was really interested in the way of food. When she traveled to the mortal world with her grandmother, she was a complete foodie and also learned some cooking methods! However, her so-called cooking methods
It's just incomparable with Gu.
After seeing the magic of ancient food cultivation, she was fascinated by the so-called way of eating! Just like she came to the kitchen now, it was not just because of boredom, she was yearning for it in her heart
driven by things.
"Then do you want to learn how to eat with me?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"think!"
Lingzhu agreed without hesitation, then smiled sheepishly, and then said: "I actually yearn for the mortal world, and I also think that adults are very good people, but I may not be able to learn how to eat with them.
, I still need to ask my grandma."
Gu Zheng nodded and said, "Ask your grandma for her opinion and think about it yourself."
"Okay, I'll ask after grandma ends her current state."
Lingzhu was very grateful to Gu Zheng for not being embarrassed, and his heart became uneasy because of this. This may be a far-reaching event.
Regardless of what Lingzhu thought, Gu Zheng continued to process his ingredients.
The processing of more than 20 kinds of ingredients took Gu Zheng two full hours. This is the disadvantage of not having the eye of the Tao and the incomplete spirit of the Five Elements.
After processing the ingredients, Gu Zheng immediately started cooking.
This time the animal spirit food cultivation is different from the last grass-returning food cultivation. The last time the grass-returning food cultivation was completely a stew. This time the beast spirit food cultivation is more complicated. It needs to be stir-fried first and then stewed. Some of the ingredients are more complicated.
It has gone through processes such as steaming and frying in advance.
As Gu Zheng's cooking process continued, the aroma gradually wafted out of the pot. Even with yesterday's experience, Lingzhu was still shocked when he knew that Gu Zheng's cooking would be very fragrant.
"Why is it so fragrant? The ingredients used by the benefactor do not have such a fragrance themselves!" Lingzhu said.
"The high quality of the ingredients is one thing, and the other is the charm of cooking. Through reasonable cooking, the aroma substances in the ingredients are stimulated or catalyzed, so there is such a fragrance." Gu Zheng said.
"The grade of the ingredients." Lingzhu murmured.
"Yes, the quality of the ingredients."
Gu Zheng paused for a moment, then told Lingzhu the grades of the ingredients.
Although Gu Zheng didn't know whether the old woman would agree to Lingzhu following him, since Lingzhu showed a strong interest in cooking, Gu Zheng simply told Lingzhu how to distinguish different grades of ingredients.
.
"My benefactor, what you said is so interesting. I really want to be with you, watch you cook, and listen to you talk about such things." Lingzhu said with fascination.
"Stop calling me benefactor, just call me husband."
Gu Zheng originally planned to wait for the old woman to agree to Lingzhu to follow him before asking Lingzhu to call him husband, but when he told Lingzhu just now, Lingzhu's expression when listening quietly was very similar to Miao Miao's before, which made him also
He relented in advance. Anyway, he had given Lingzhu some information about cooking. Regardless of whether the old woman agreed with Lingzhu to follow him or not, just let Lingzhu call him sir.
"gentlemen."
Lingzhu's eyes lit up and she seemed to be very interested in this novel title. She murmured it softly several times.
Seeing Lingzhu's reaction, Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled and continued his cooking.
It smells more and more fragrant, Lingzhu's nostrils continue to flap, and the expression on his face becomes more and more intoxicating.
"I really want to eat the food cooked by my husband, but I just smell the fragrance of the food and can't taste its taste. It's really a torture!" Lingzhu said with a smile.
"If you feel tortured, you can go outside and wait."
In order not to disturb the old woman's stabilization of her inner elixir, Gu Zheng had placed restrictions in the stone chamber, so as long as the spirit beads went outside, she would not be able to smell the alluring fragrance.
"Forget it, this fragrance has taken root in my heart. If I can't smell it outside, it will probably be even more torture. What's more, I can still talk to my husband here, but it will be even more boring outside." Lingzhu vomited.
Tongue.
Gu Zheng smiled slightly: "Besides food cultivation, I am not in the mood to cook anything else. When I solve your grandma's problem, she will also expel the air current from the source of my true water. At that time, I will
I will cook a few dishes for you to satisfy your appetite."
“I’m really looking forward to it!”
Lingzhu cheered, and then asked: "Sir, do you think this fragrance can be better?"
"Of course, there are still two ingredients that haven't been put in!"
Gu Zheng pointed to two ingredients of different colors next to them that looked very similar to shredded jellyfish.
"Sir, are these two ingredients important? They look extraordinary at first glance." Lingzhu asked.
"They are all high-level water ingredients, but Danshui ingredients are not ingredients from sea water. The red one is called 'Qingquan Blood Crystal', and the green one is called 'Youtan Amethyst'. They are also the beast spirits.
The most important ingredients in food repair, after they are added, the fragrance of food repair will be improved a lot." Gu Zheng said.
"Ah? Many, many?"
Lingzhu's eyes widened. Gu Zheng said so much that she couldn't imagine what kind of fragrance it was.
"In the Tao of Food, after the fragrance reaches a certain level, there will be a symbolic phenomenon. This phenomenon is called the transformation of extreme fragrance. It is also the manifestation of the Tao in the Tao of Food."
Gu Zheng told Lingzhu the details about Jixiang's transformation, filling in the gaps in her understanding of higher-level fragrances.
After listening to what Gu Zheng said, the fascination in Lingzhu's eyes became even stronger, and she hurriedly said: "Sir, will the food you cook this time produce the most fragrant form?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, Jixiang will appear in its form." Gu Zheng said.
"Ah? Will there be an accident?" Lingzhu's eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course it will! It's just like your grandma refining elixirs. There is a certain chance of failure."
When he said this, Gu Zheng was helpless. If it had been in the past, there would have been almost no possibility of his failure in cooking.
"What will happen if it fails? Will it be the same as alchemy, where all the materials will be scrapped?" Lingzhu asked again.
"Yes." Gu Zheng said.
"Then sir, do you have any extra materials to make it again?" Lingzhu asked nervously.
"there is none left."
Gu Zheng shook his head and then said: "If it really fails, we have to find these materials within a month and then do it again."
"Sir, after my grandma's inner elixir is stabilized, will she still only have one month left to live?" Lingzhu wanted to cry.
"The first food repair to repair your grandma's inner elixir is just to enable her to accept my food repair to improve her cultivation. The effect is not to extend her life."
The effects of the three food repairs that Gu Zheng wants to do for the old woman are interrelated. The purpose of the first grass-returning food repair is to repair the old woman's inner elixir, so that she can receive the huge immortal energy brought by the energy-increasing food repair. Take it
After Zeng Yuan Shi Cultivation, the old woman's strength increased to the middle stage of the Heavenly Demon. Only then could she help Gu Zheng expel the air current in the source of his natal true water. Only after she helped Gu Zheng expel the air current in the source of his natal true water, could Gu Zheng be able to
Only by turning the source of natal true water into the spirit of natal true water can we perfectly use the extremely important magical art of water control in the process of cooking and food cultivation. With the extremely important magical art of controlling water, ancient
Only then can he cook the food for the old woman to keep her alive.
"I hope sir will not fail!"
Lingzhu really cried. She already knew how precious the ingredients Gu Zheng used to cook Zengyuan Shixiu for her grandma. If Gu Zheng failed to cook this time, she thought they would be in trouble in the next month.
It is possible to gather such a portion of ingredients. After all, the wilderness is so vast, and the time spent just on the road to find ingredients is unimaginable.
"I'll try!"
Gu Zheng nodded. Whether it was for the source of his own true water, or for the fate of getting to know Lingzhu and the old woman, he didn't want to fail this time in Zeng Yuan Food Cultivator's cooking.
Put the Qingquan Blood Crystal and Youtan Amethyst into the pot at the same time, and now we have reached the final stage of cooking this food.
As Gu Zheng stir-fries the food in the pot, the aroma becomes more and more intense, but it still takes a while before the extremely fragrant food takes shape. After all, this food is fried first and then stewed, and now it is still there
During the stir-frying stage, and for Gu Zheng, the risk of cooking failure will be during the stewing process.
Finally, Gu Zheng put the soup that had been boiled in advance into the pot, then covered the pot and used the fire control technique to adjust the fire to just the right state.
At this moment, Gu Zheng felt a little nervous. He knew that after the soup was put into the pot, some special substances in the Qingquan Blood Crystal and Youtan Amethyst would change, and this would also cause some disadvantages that could make the food repair bad.
.If Gu Zheng had the Eye of Tao, then all of this would change with his visibility, and he could easily solve the shortcomings. But now that he does not have the Eye of Tao, then the shortcomings are the real danger.
By judging the aroma, Gu Zheng simmered the food for a while, then decisively opened the lid of the pot, stirred it in the pot with a spoon, and scooped out what looked like potato chunks.
The thing that looks like potato pieces is called "Dihuanggen". It was put into Ru Shi Xiu in one piece when adding it to the soup.
Based on Gu Zheng's understanding of food ingredients, he knew that 'Dihuang Root' had the effect of absorbing harmful substances such as Qingquan Blood Crystal and Youtan Amethyst, but he had no way to control whether this adsorption would be very clean.
After scooping out the 'Dihuang Root' and not using it, Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, because the aroma in the pot quickly became rich. This was a good sign, which meant that the 'Dihuang Root' combined the clear spring blood crystal and
The harmful substances in Youtan Amethyst are absorbed more, otherwise the fragrance at this time will be weakened.
However, more does not mean that there is none at all, so Gu Zheng can only breathe a sigh of relief temporarily. If the fragrance still does not weaken after one minute, then this energy-increasing food cultivation is considered to be successful. If the fragrance has weakened, then
This means that the harmful substances in Qingquan Blood Crystal and Youtan Amethyst have not been completely absorbed, and they will cause very serious damage to food cultivation.
When you pay close attention to something, time will feel like it passes very slowly.
One minute is like a long day in today's ancient struggle. The critical moment appears, and the fragrance of food repair shows signs of weakening!
Gu Zheng frowned and quickly poured the bowl of soup prepared on the side into the pot.
The soup is white and looks like it is short of juice. As soon as it is put into the pot, its original aroma immediately drops significantly.
The soup is soy milk ground from the 'Xianchen Bean'. It is used to offset the disadvantages caused by the Qingquan Blood Crystal and Youtan Amethyst. This is the remedy in Gu Zheng's mind. Whether it is useful or not, he is not very sure.
Yes, it all depends on whether the richness of the fragrance will be improved after the water is boiled.
Gu Zheng looked nervous, and Lingzhu was even more nervous. Although she didn't dare to ask Gu Zheng how he was doing, she could tell from the rise and fall of the fragrance that an invisible battle was going on in the pot at this time.
An excruciating minute finally passed, Gu Zheng's brows relaxed, a smile appeared on his face, and the fragrance finally became richer as expected.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Seeing Gu Zheng smiling, Lingzhu dared to ask.
"Fortunately, it's done!"
"Very good!"
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Lingzhu immediately cheered and even shed tears of excitement.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything, he just touched Lingzhu's head to express comfort.
Lingzhu smiled sheepishly, and then asked: "Sir, will this fragrance become stronger and stronger until it takes the form of a very fragrant scent?"
"Yes!" Gu Zheng nodded.
"I'm really looking forward to Ji Xiang's transformation!"
After Lingzhu finished speaking, he looked back at the door of the stone chamber. The old woman had finished stabilizing the inner elixir and was watching them from outside the ban.
Gu Zheng calculated his time very well. He knew that before he could complete his food cultivation, the old woman would be able to end the stability of the inner alchemy.
Gu Zheng lifted the restriction. After the old woman came in, she looked straight into the pot and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Compared to the Lingzhu, Food Cultivator is more attractive to the old woman. After all, this is what Gu Zheng Cooking gave her.
